Artists Statement:
There are authentically real moments happening around us all the time but few of us see them or register them. We humans go to great lengths to hide such raw emotion behind a facade mixed with reservation and propriety. When I see those moments in real time or captured in images or movies, it inspires me to express them in my art. A startled reaction, a knowing gaze, an expression of pure joy or rage are all things I try to share in my works. As my collection evolves, and as my talent changes, I find myself sculpting pieces that, hopefully, generate those authentic reactions in the people that view them. Every puzzled look, critical glare or precious smile given in reaction to my work is food for this artist's soul. I hope together we can move toward a more honest world where genuine emotion is expressed freely.
